              "This mural was the one I was the most nervous about for this project...how do you depict a stagecoach route other than a map and a                      horse drawn stagecoach, but will it be eye catching? I used a flat off-white paint to accomplish the aged black and white photo look for the                stagecoach and horses. And this is the only mural I've done with a grid, which was interesting to do, to get all those horse legs                                proportional."
